2015

I spent 2015 focusing on me.  Getting me healthier emotionally, physically and mentally.  After years of being drained with graduate school, three miscarriages, two kids in a less then 18 months in addition to the two I already had, dad's battle with cancer and then losing the battle.  Then there was a collicly baby.  Nearly a decade of CPS.  I wasn't healthy in so many ways.

This year in some ways was hard.  Really hard.  Luke getting ran over and the strain it was on the family was the hardest thing.  But in most ways this year  was amazing.  By focusing on me and my needs I was better able to meet the needs of others.  But the year was not with out battle scars.  It was not with out pain and some huge growing experiences.  But at the end of 2015 I am mentally in such a better place.  I am physically stronger then I have been in years.  I have a better relationship with my kids and spouse.  I have focused on those relationships that are true friendships and limited contact with those people who don't support me. I feel more spiritual and  more empowered.  

I didn't just survive this year I really feel like I focused and I lived this year.  There were so many adventures that we did. And so many more I want to do. 

I head into 2016 feeling on top of the world.  We have been blessed this year and I have felt the presence of angels more times then I can count.  We have been blessed with family and friends.  We cried we laughed.  We got to our breaking point and came back.  We came a few inches from losing our baby. We have made mistakes and have done some stuff right.   

With the end of 2015 a few hours away I feel this is has been a great year.

Random Thoughts

I sometimes wonder where to draw the line in this whole blogging thing.  I could make us look like the "perfect" family or I could deal with all of our disappointment and make everybody think that we quite possible have the worse life ever.  Or maybe there is a middle ground somewhere that I have yet to find in this blog.  Today was a rough day.  Don't get me wrong I am so excited that everybody around me is having babies.  But for some reason today I was caught up in the losses all over again.  I am wondering when it stops.  Maybe it never does.  Maybe it will be a life time of wondering what if I would have gone full term.  Several people have asked when (or if) we are going to have another baby.  I am not sure.  Sometimes that answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But one thing is for certain it isn't right now.  Really I don't need to have a ton of kids to fill some void.  I love my two kids and if that is all ...

It has been a week

Here is how the week went Monday: OUr 25th anniversary. I was sick. We went and tried a Cuban restrant not as good as the food we had in Miami but it was good. We love trying new local places. It ended in tears. I won't go into all the details but I am relaizing that this is not the marriage I want. I am open about what I need and we will go from there. Luke started wrestling. Tuesday: End of the year banquent for Luke and Andrew. Luke recevied the "Most Improved" Awared. Here is the thing about that. His coach talked about how during summer practice he wouldn't even run 100 yeards. He would just stop. At some point after the first meet it clicked and he just ran and did what he needed to do. He went up adn accepted the award with such confidence. Wednesday: Both boys had activities. Andrew had stayed home from school due to not felling wel. My guess is he just needed a rest. He was feeling up for going and making pizzas at the Bishop's hous...

Heavy Week

This week has been so heavy. I had a client pass away and I never got the closure I needed/wanted. Client was not my typical client. He was different and sassy and I looked forward to seeing him every week. Then we went to a presentation. When I tried to explain how dishonest the presenter was I felt ignored. We are pretty anti MLM anyway but not wanting to know is weird to me. There are big changes coming and I am not ready for all the changes. Might be good might be a diaster. Time will tell. Mom's surgery is scheduled in about four weeks. I feel as though she moved it for us. Which is for the best for everybody but still taking on guilt that is not mine to own. Listening to the news about the LDS church shooting/fire in Michigan has been so triggering. I hate that I feel all the all the feeings. How I can envision the people there and the screaming kids and .....on and on. I wonder what changes will come to the church now that prophet died. I hope ther...
